Windshield replacement is usually covered in RI Insurance so yeah...anyone reputable company literally. Call your insurance company!

Mine doesn’t cover it! I have USAA

Drop them then... free replacement is like a basic coverage for other companies.

Edit: I got rid of USAA over 10 years ago to include banking because they were such BS. Been with GEICO since moving back to RI.

What happened to them? They used to be good but they absolutely suck now. I still have them but I'm honestly thinking about switching over to Navy Federal (who I think offers GEICO)?

Yeah I've had Navy Federal since I was a little kid and they get a discount through Geico.

I really don't know what happened to USAA. They were the only insurance company that would insure me as an 18 year old stationed in Germany with a brand new car. As time went on they just become more difficult to work with, their car buying service really sucked as it was more expensive to shop through them than to actually walk on the lot. Also their insurance kept creeping up year after year and their customer service sucked.

My USAA coverage has windshields included. That being said, I used “Affordable Auto Glass” and their charge was less than my deductible. He came right to my house and replaced it in my driveway.

I think this is a thing of the past.

My insurance company is paying for Satellite to replace my windshield on Thursday. No cost for me.

If it’s offered (and it should be) still have to check the option box. It costs almost nothing to add to insurance (Amica) but I left it off thinking it wouldn’t be a thing and save some money then I got stuck with a $450 bill for a replacement when that would’ve cost like $5.80 a month on top of my premium.

I suggest after this incident calling your insurer and asking about adding the coverage.
